You are your microbes - Jessica Green and Karen Guillemin

From the microbes in our stomachs to the ones on our teeth, we are homes to millions of unique and diverse communities which help our bodies function. Jessica Green and Karen Guillemin emphasize the importance of understanding the many organisms that make up each and every organism.

From a fractal perspective, couldn't we just be 'gut microbes' of universal sized being? Or could we not view ourselves as individual universes of microbial communities, each being it's own form of a galaxy or solar system?..I like these ideas. =)

This video makes the story about the man who is always drunk without drinking any alcohol make so much more sense! When he eats high concentrations of carbohydrates, he must have an over-abundance of "fermenter microbes"!
